7 Things Freight Agents Love About Tallgrass

There’s no better time of year to celebrate the people you love than on Valentine’s Day (or eat a bunch of candy—we’re not picky). The season of love is also an ideal opportunity to think about your relationship with your career. Are you happy? Fulfilled? Excited about what’s ahead? If not, it might be time for a change. And that’s where we come in.

At Tallgrass Freight Company, we deliver expert transportation logistics services to help clients move product safely, efficiently and affordably. That service delivery is powered by our freight agent network, which gives agents the freedom to build their careers with our full support.

Sounds like a perfect match, right? Read on for 7 things that freight agents love about Tallgrass.

Independence

We hire talented freight agents, then we get out of their way. As part of our freight agent network, agents are free to focus on what they do best: growing and cultivating their book of business. They’re not tied to desks or struggling to succeed while being micro-managed. Instead, they have the independence to run their business like it’s their own. And that makes success so much sweeter.

Flexibility

Our logistics services span the globe—so why shouldn’t our freight agents do the same? Our freight agent network equips agents with the back office resources they need so that they have the flexibility to work anywhere. That way, agents aren’t isolated from their customers—they’re out in the midst of where the business is happening.

Unlimited Growth Potential

At Tallgrass Freight, the only limit on your earnings is you! Part of our entrepreneurial freight agent network includes encouraging our agents to set—and achieve—big goals. We want our freight agents to dream big—and then we want to do what we can to help make those dreams come true. In the meantime, the company itself is laser-focused on aggressive growth, which benefits both our agents and our clients. It’s a win-win!

Ownership

One of the things our freight agents love most about Tallgrass Freight is the ability to be their own boss. It’s exhilarating to know you’re in charge of your future. And with our best-in-class back office support (more on that in a minute), you don’t have to juggle the administrative side of the business. Instead, you can focus on your customers and your growth.

Support

While our freight agents are out in the field working with their customers, they have the peace of mind in knowing that their back office operations are handled by our first-class team. That’s one of the many perks of working at Tallgrass—the thrill of being your own boss without having to juggle both the administration and the client side. Instead, you simply focus on what you love. We’ve got the rest.

Stability

We pride ourselves on creating a vibrant start-up culture that enables growth and innovation. At the same time, we bring stability, both to our agents and to the company itself. There’s no uncertainty about things like changes to comp plans, and all of our freight agents have access to health benefits. Additionally, Tallgrass is run by logistics industry veterans who know the business inside and out and have given the company a solid foundation on which to thrive.

Energy

One of the reasons we’re so focused on delivering a start-up culture is because there’s an energy to start-ups that tends to fade with bigger, more established companies. It’s important to us that our freight agents feel invigorated and excited about the work they’re doing. In turn, that creates an infectious energy that collectively motivates the company to do more, earn more and achieve more.

No matter how you celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’s the perfect time of year to make sure you’re happy and in love—at the very least, with your job! If not, it might just be time to make a change. Drop us a note and we’d love to share more about becoming part of the Tallgrass family.
